| The highlight of the day was another Siberian Accentor, this one in Highland at Avoch, the thirteenth to be discovered in Britain since the first on 9th October this year. Elsewhere, the
Cliff Swallow was still present in Suffolk early morning but not since, a Pallid Harrier was found in East Yorkshire at Welwick, the
Isabelline Wheatear remained in Norfolk, as did both Eastern Black Redstarts in Cleveland, Forster's Tern
in County Galway, both Dusky Warbler and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon,
Long-billed Dowitchers in both Kent and County Wexford, Richardson's Cackling Goose in County Sligo, Ferruginous Duck in Hertfordshire and Black-bellied Dipper in Suffolk. Scarcities included Richard's Pipit (Kent), Snow Goose (Highland), Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall and Norfolk), three Surf Scoters and four American Wigeons. Waxwing aggregations included 60 in Lothian, 50 in Norfolk, 30 in Northumberland, 20 in County Durham, and 12 in both Aberdeenshire and West Yorkshire. Seawatching produced a White-billed Diver passing the Orkney Isles as well as, at North Sea sites, small numbers of Little Auk, Pomarine Skua, Glaucous Gull and Sooty Shearwater, and reports of Sabine's Gull, Long-tailed Skua and Balearic Shearwater. |
